Audi's engineering team has been spotted yet again while testing the company's Q6 e-tron. Now, as its name suggests, this is an all-electric SUV. Contrary to its name, though, it is not squeezed between the Q5 and Q7, but it is sized like a Q5 and offers as much interior room as a Q7.
Most of you already know that the upcoming Q6 e-tron is not based on the MEB platform used by the Q4 e-tron, but on the PPE technical solution. The latter comes from a co-development with Porsche, and it is an abbreviation of Premium Platform Electric. The electric Macan will ride on this platform as well, but Audi's Q6 e-tron will be the first on the market with the new platform.
The first sighting of this model's prototype was eight months ago, but it is evident that it has since received production-spec headlights, as well as other components that cannot be seen under the camouflage. Check out the photo gallery to see the air vents integrated in the front bumper.
Audi is expected to showcase the MY2023 Q6 e-tron next year, so the electric SUV is approaching its due date. Until then, we expect to get a chance to see the production taillights of the Q6 e-tron, as well as the charging ports. The German SUV might have two charging ports, one on each side, as the spy photos show. It remains to be seen if the production car will drop one of them.
The production version of the Q6 e-tron is expected to reach showrooms by the second half of 2022. The U.S. market will get it by the end of the year as an MY2023 car. Even later, in 2023, Audi is expected to launch a second body style in the range, in the shape of a Sportback, but that is yet to be confirmed.
By 2025, Audi wants to offer 20 all-electric vehicles in its range, along with numerous other plug-in hybrids. According to insiders and previous statements made by company representatives in the past few months, the marque from Ingolstadt intends to have over half of its range offered in PHEV versions by 2025.
